This is not a general coding assistant. It was trained for iterative code search with colgrep, terminal, and finish. Use the upstream chat template, system prompt, tool schemas, and thinking disabled. The official colgrep --agent CLI currently runs GGUF through llama.cpp; this MLX checkpoint is not a drop-in replacement for that CLI. An MLX-backed harness is separate integration work.
This checkpoint is not claimed to match upstream BF16 on benchmarks until an apples-to-apples evaluation of full search trajectories is reported. The smoke test validates basic load, format, and first tool-call structure only.
